I've always had great luck with Reece's Recommendations but I've run out of Luck!
Constant auguring between Grandmother and her daughter! Very hard to figure out what the plot was.
Too many times Grandmother was so sure of the killer but later had to change her mind.
Author had bad habit of using a person's 1st name only in one part of the book and then would use the person's last name only in other parts of the book. Should have been more consistent!
Characters were just average with no stand outs!
Book won many awards in 2024 and was the main reason I wanted to read it but so far this is July and this has been the worse book Ive read this year!
My 1st time reading this author. I come from up north and really had problems with some of the expressions and slang used in the book. It's a fast paced book and the characters were great!
A couple of surprises in the book made it even better. I can see why the author has won 2 Hugo awards!! I'm going to brush up on my Southern slang and look forward to reading another of his books! Read James Lee Burke if you haven't yet! David N.
Visitation Street was chosen as an Amazon Best Book of the Month, Amazon Best Book of 2013, and a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection.
From my last book I read (Cozy Mystery) to this book was quite a leap! Takes place in New York City along the East River and housing projects. Great characters trying to help each other getting over a missing girl and the murder of a young teenager's father. Everything is intertwined as are the characters. No spoilers here, I believe this was Ivy Pochoda's 1st novel! I will try her next book “These Women” up for more awards 2020! David N.
